SEARCH not available on ourfutureourpast.ca

Hi. Does anyone know why "SEARCH" is not available on this site or is it just me or the UK. Used to get so many photos and histories of uk immigrants. Please?

Assuming it was local histories you were trying to search, the site says search is temporarily unavailable.  Try this site for a wider collection of local histories, the search function is still working there.

 :) It has been unavailable for months. It was so brilliant. This is one book that I found by just putting Edward Body in after clicking TEXT. I have helped other people some even living in Alberta district and not knowing about the old photos of their relations. One young lady came back saying her mum and her were in tears as she had never seen a photo of her great grandparents. Mind you I have had some rude replies. I understand this, as why am I looking into their family. It is such a shame when there are some lovely photos and history of families from 1800's onwards.
One book where I found some family history which I would not have known without ourfutureour past.ca

Tried our roots.ca and found the book "Long Shadows" but would not have known there was anything about my cousins, as search did not show anything for Edward Body. Would not have known about "Long Shadows" book? By the way I only contact people,as I am so much into my family and think other people want to know as I do.
